SUMMARY:Toad&Co Sustainability Tour Visits Chester County
DESCRIPTION:Come For a Beer\, Meet Your Neighbors\, and Learn How You Can Save the Planet\n\n\n\nWhen: May 4–13Where: The kick-off event will be at Trail Creek Outfitters on Saturday\, May 4\, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. More Chester County dates coming soon! \n\n\n\n5% of the purchase price of  Toad&Co sustainable apparel sold during the Chester County portion of their tour will be donated to Stroud Water Research Center! \n\n\n\n\n“The apparel industry is the fourth largest polluter of air and water on Earth. If we’re ever going to change those numbers\, we’ll need everyone on board with sustainability. There are tons of ways that we\, as companies\, consumers\, communities\, and individuals\, can help make a difference by practicing what we preach and preaching what we practice (#dontforgettohashtag).”

SUMMARY:Introduction to EnviroDIY Sensor Stations
DESCRIPTION:When: Wednesday\, May 8\, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.Where: Stroud Water Research Center (map below)Audience: Those who want an introduction to EnviroDIY\, programming Mayfly data loggers\, and sensor station installation.Cost: Free. Includes refreshments and lunch each day. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited to 24 participants. \n\n\n\nThe Stroud Center’s EnviroDIY workshop for learning about low-cost\, open-source\, real-time environmental monitoring systems covers the following topics: \n\n\n\n\nan introduction to Arduino-compatible hardware and software (and programming);\n\n\n\nusing various environmental sensors (both classroom sensors and more robust outdoor appropriate sensors);\n\n\n\nbuilding and weatherproofing a monitoring station for outdoor deployment; attendees will be introduced to the tools and techniques needed for field deployment (typically for stream/river monitoring\, but adaptable for terrestrial and meteorological monitoring) and maintenance;\n\n\n\nintroduction to data visualization\, management\, analysis\, and interpretation.\n\n\n\n\nAttendees will have an opportunity for hands-on experience with a variety of classroom and real-world sensors and equipment. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact David Bressler.

SUMMARY:Leaf Pack Coming to Utah!
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about the Leaf Pack Experiment to examine the health of YOUR local streams!\n\n\n\nWhen: Saturday\, May 18\, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.Where: Ogden Botanical Gardens\, Ogden\, UT (map below)Audience: Middle and high school teachers\, environmental educators\, and citizen scientists.Cost: FREE! Registration is required. \n\n\n\nDownload flyer \n\n\n\nSpace is limited. Contact Tara Muenz for more information or to register!Registration deadline is May 13. \n\n\n\nHOW CAN CLUMPS OF SLIMY LEAVES SPARK STREAM EXPLORATION?\n\n\n\nThe Leaf Pack Experiment is a fun\, hands-on research and outreach tool for citizens of all ages and teachers\, demonstrating how our actions on land impact life in streams and water quality. Leaf Pack promotes inquiry-based interdisciplinary watershed education and engages diverse audiences in conducting their own experiments\, gathering relevant ecological data\, exploring food webs\, learning classification skills\, using technology to share data\, comparing data with those of other communities and applying that information to protect local watersheds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJOIN US AT OUR WORKSHOP\, WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW!\n\n\n\nDuring this workshop participants will receive an overview of stream ecology and watershed concepts based on research done at Stroud Water Research Center. Taking our boots to the stream\, we’ll then experience hands-on examination of leaf packs with live aquatic macroinvertebrates\, including their identification a look at the Leaf Pack Network® website and database. A short taxonomic certification exam (free and easy!) at the volunteer level of ID will be given through the Society for Freshwater Science as part of a new pilot project! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHand-On Experience\n\n\n\nYou’ll touch slimy leaves and rocks\, learning about Leaf Pack methods and how aquatic macroinvertebrates tell us the story about stream health. \n\n\n\nBoots in the Water\n\n\n\nSpend the day with us at the beautiful Ogden Botanical Garden classroom on the banks of the Ogden River! If the water’s too high\, we’ll bring the bugs to you! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the workshop you will receive: \n\n\n\n\nLeaf Pack kit give-a ways!\n\n\n\nFREE lunch\n\n\n\nHands-on experience deploying and retrieving leaf packs from the stream\n\n\n\nTraining in macroinvertebrate ID\n\n\n\nFUN teaching techniques to bring to your classes and communities!\n\n\n\nRelicensure points and continuing education credits\n\n\n\nFree volunteer-level taxonomic certification through the Society for Freshwater Science\n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited.
